in 1993 there was a mass shooting on the long island railroad in new york. six people were killed. 19 people were shot and wounded. congresswoman carolyn mccarthy's husband was among those killed, and her son was among those wounded. after that attack in 1993, carolyn mccarthy ran for congress on a gun control platform, and she won that seat in congress. today in response to what happened in connecticut, carolyn mccarthy said "these shootings are becoming all too common, and it's too easy for dangerous people to get the weapons that help them perform mass executions like today's. leaders in washington from both parties and groups like the nra all say that now is not the time to talk about how gun safety laws can save lives in america. i agree. now is not the time to talk about gun laws. the time for that conversation was long before all those kids in connecticut died today." carolyn mccarthy's mention of the national rifle association, the nra is what everybody is talking about when they talk about the need for leadership regardless of the political conseque
